Despite all the rumors of taking an offensive tackle or Justin Herbert, the Dolphins took Tua Tagovailoa with the fifth overall selection. The “Tank for Tua” started last year when the Dolphins started their rebuild and were supposed to end the season with the first overall pick. Brian Flores didn’t care and managed to lead this team to five wins and they still managed to get the quarterback they were targeting all along. The Dolphins went for the home run here and hopefully it pays off.
With the 18th selection, the Dolphins added Austin Jackson to shore up the offensive line. He is a pure left tackle, but interestingly, that won’t be the blindside with Tua at quarterback. He also has a great story where he donated his bone marrow to his younger sister. He is only 20 and it appears his best football is ahead of him.
The Dolphins traded back with the Packers for the 30th pick (Dolphins would have had the 26th) while adding a fourth round pick also. With the 30th selection the Dolphins surprised a lot of people by selecting cornerback Noah Igbinoghene. The team already has Xavien Howard and added Byron Jones in free agency. You can never have enough corners though.
